BECAUSE OF GOD
********
God has called us to do his will with our lives for his name sake, and not to please anyone but God only, and He will reward you in due time.

"whatsoever ye do, do it with all your heart, as unto the Lord, and not unto men; knowing that from the Lord ye shall receive the recompense of the inheritance: ye serve the Lord Christ."
Colossians 3:23-24

*And when you do good because of the name of God and do it with your whole heart.
The God that you serve will never let you down.

Prayer
Father I pray that my life will be a pleasing sacrifice to you in Jesus Holy name
Amen

GLORY IN HUMILITY
****
Pride goes before a fall, and so does arrogance ruin a relationship.

"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time;"
1 Peter 5:6

Humility before God is a reflection of your humility toward your fellow human.
- If you show humility in your ways, in due time you will be exalted by your superiors and colleagues.
This is the glory of God.

Prayer:
Father take Pride and Arrogance faraway from my heart, my home and my actions in Jesus Holy name
Amen

GIVE YOUR HEART
****
You heart is what God desires, because out of the heart come the issues of life (Guard it very carefully)

If your heart is right, your deeds will be right and if it is evil, rarely ever can deeds be good.

The Heart is our place of judgement, and when we surrender our heart to God, it shows that we fear and love God.
God will personal take charge of your every need.

"And he said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Matthew 22:37

PRAYER
Father please forgive me of my sins and mistakes.
I surrender my heart to you, wash me and make me whole again in you, I ask in Jesus Holy name
Amen

NEW
****
The body and blood of Jesus is the new covenant from God.

It abolishes the old things, and brings in the new things.

May this new covenant bring us into the new life and Glory of God through his Son and our saviour Jesus Christ the Lord
Amen

GET IT
****
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
Matthew 7:7

Jesus continued also by saying
"For everyone who asks will receive, and those who seek will find and doorswill be opened unto you also if you Knock"

Therefore if you request of the almighty God who is also our Father, we will get our heart desires.
So live right (a holy life) and ask of God to receive in abundance
Amen

Prayer;
Father God, I surrender my life to you as a sacrifice, pls take control of me and bless me in Jesus Holy name
Amen

ASK & BELIEVE
*******
"for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened."
Matthew 7:8

Today, God encourages us to have faith that we will receive what we ask of him.

Prayer:
Oh Lord when I pray to you, I believe in you.
Please help my unbelief, increase my faith in Jesus Holy name
Amen

THE FOOL
****
Dear friend, be very careful so that you will not be labelled a fool.

A fool is a person who lacks wisdom, one who knows what is good to be done but yet does otherwise.

A fool can also be defined among other definitions as someone who gets angry easily.

"Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry; for anger resteth in the bosom of fools."
Ecclesiastes 7:9

Never be in a hurry to respond or act when upset, because according to the bible if you do, you will be regarded as a fool.
Instead, take a few deep breaths and say "Lord Jesus help me", this is wisdom.

Prayer:
Father I surrender my heart to you, please fill it with your patience and wisdom in Jesus Holy name
Amen

DO NOT TAUNT
*****
Someone once said "if you do not have anything good to say, please don't say anything at all (keep quiet)"

A word of encouragement at all times helps to build good character and a positive mind frame in people.

"Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, Sweet to the soul, and health to the bones."
Proverbs 16:24

Prayer:
My Father and my God, I know that you love me.
Please Lord, help me to love others and be an encouragement to people just as you love me and encourage me, I ask in Jesus Holy name
Amen

But the Lord is faithful, who shall establish you, and guard you from the evil one.
2 Thessalonians 3:3

AMEN

ONE STEP AHEAD
*****
Understanding your weakness is one way to stay one step ahead of the devil.

James 1:12 (KJV) says, "Blessed is the man that endureth temptation, he shall receive the crown of life, "

To endure temptation means to go through trials without giving up, to outlast the devil.

Enduring also means going through a time of temptation without letting it change your attitude or commitment.

Jesus never treated people differently even when He was being tempted, we can follow His example.
Sometimes God allows us to face temptations so He can bring attention to areas of weakness in our lives and help us overcome them.

*Godly Maturity comes through trials, and it will put you one step ahead of the devil.

Prayer:
Holy Spirit, I believe You are with me during times of temptation so that I can be overcome.
Please help me Holy spirit
Amen

Good morning family and have a blessed weekend.

Trust God and Do Good 

*Psalms 37:3*

This is a simple Way to be Christian.

Prayer: Lord Jesus please help me un belief, and strengthen my faith and will in your ways
Amen

Many of us spend far too much time trying to figure out how we can get blessings for ourselves. People sometimes spend their entire lives trying to accomplish what they think is important, never trusting God or letting Him lead them. In the end, this leaves them depressed and unfulfilled.

Psalm 37:3 says, "Trust, in the Lord and do good, ." God didn't create us to worry about helping ourselves all the time. He wants us to sow good seed by reaching out to help others. And doing good brings great satisfaction because it feels great to make a difference. It also opens the door for God to bless you in a greater way.

You need to trust God to bring the right blessings into your life. While you're waiting for His perfect timing, get busy helping others. You'll actually feel relieved when you aren't thinking about yourself all the time.

Trust God and get busy doing the good things you know to do. He'll faithfully bless you and meet your needs.

Prayer Starter: God, I don't want to live a selfish, self-centered life. I trust You to bring the right blessings into my life while I'm busy doing good for everyone You've placed in my life.

Amen

Good morning my lovely family and have a blessed week ahead.

PEACE and HOLINESS
*****
Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:14

Sanctification is otherwise called Holiness.
If we live a holy life, we will see God show up in our life and in the world to come

NEVER QUIT
******
Brethren, I count not myself yet to have acheived a thing: but one thing I do, forgetting the things which are behind, and stretching forward to the things which are before, I press on toward the goal unto the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 3:13-14

Have you sinned against God and do you feel that you are not worthy?
Are you Living a Holy life and feel you are better than others?

The word of God today tells us never to quit trying to be victorious and never to quit until the very end of life.

We need to try again and keep making more efforts until we receive our success.

Prayer
Father God, please strengthen us as we make efforts to succeed in our heart desires and pursuits.
Lord please give us success in Jesus Holy name
Amen

STUDY
******
You cannot please God as a child of God if you do not believe God and read the bible.

When we read the bible and see the wonderful true stories, our believe and faith in God increases.

"So Faith/belief cometh of hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ."
Romans 10:17

Pick up the bible today, start reading, and Grow your faith in God.
Make it a habit, clean the dust from your bible and begin to read your bible today.

Prayer:
Father, open me up to your word and grow my faith in you through your Word in Jesus Holy name.
Amen

THIS KIND LOVE
******
Sometimes we look at our lives as that of a failure, as one unfulfilled and a disappointment,...

..but God doesn't see us the same way.
In all our challenges, God sees you as a successful person who is going tru trials so that you can humble yourself before men and before God so that His plans for you will come to pass in your life.

Remember, you have only one life to live, so don't waste it on yourself, instead, spend your life giving more time to God because he alone will never give up on you as long as you live.

"The LORD GOD appeared of old unto me, saying, Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love: therefore with lovingkindness have I drawn thee."
Jeremiah 31:3

Prayer:
Father thank you for staying with me always.
I appreciate you Lord Jesus
Amen

HEED/LISTEN/OBEY
*******
Have you ever wondered why sometimes it seems like God isn't hearing and answering our prayers?

Well it's pretty simple, and written in his Word..

"God is in the way of life that heedeth correction; But he that forsaketh reproof erreth."
Proverbs 10:17

When we accept to be corrected, God is more present to help us, but when we refuse to be corrected,... well,... you know the rest.

We need to ask God for his mercy and forgiveness, so that He may refresh us in his blessings as we choose the right way that pleases him.

Prayer:
Father forgive me and lead me in the path of righteousness in Jesus Holy name
Amen

EASY DOES IT
******
Don't get carried away with your situation, rather, put God in the picture, telling him about everything.
God truly desires to be a part of your celebration, so tell him always until he comes through for you for your celebration.

*Philippians 4:6-7*
Be anxious for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. *KJV*

AMEN

HOLY SPIRIT
****
"Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, in the power of the Holy Spirit."
Romans 15:13

Who is the Holy spirit?
The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God sent to be with us and dwell in us.

It is the Holy Spirit that perfects your Christian race, and helps you overcome all temptation.

"He is the Seal of the almighty God."

It is very important to develop a daily relationship with the Holy spirit in your prayers and actions.

Prayer:
Dear Holy spirit, please come and dwell with me and in me.
Help me to recognise your presence daily in my life.
Lead me and teach the way of the almighty God in Jesus Holy name I pray
Amen

LET LOVE LEAD
****
Love is the only Sincere emotion.
"God is love"

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
John 15:13

Prayer:
Father thank you for your love towards me.
Help me to share your true love with everyone in Jesus Holy name
Amen

THREAT
******
When people threaten you, or your hear rumour of threats, do you become afraid?
Do you begin to worry?

Some years back, a man threatened to deal with me to loosing my job, but I wished him well and I spoke out and said to him
"Except Jesus fails from his throne, then his threat will be fulfilled."
About a month later the man was sacked.
Praise God!

It is written
"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid: for Jehovah, even Jehovah, is my strength and song; and he is become my salvation."
Isaiah 12:2

Prayer:
Father, please let your love never fail from my heart and my life.
Help me to Trust in the Shadow of the almighty God.
Bless me Lord in Jesus Holy name
Amen

TALK, TALK
******
Be very very careful of the things you say, and even Jokes you say.

"Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof."
Proverbs 18:21

If you confess good things, you will have them,..
and if you confess bad things, you will have them.

Prayer:
Lord God almighty, please keep watch over the doors of my lips.
Cancel every negative confession I have ever said Lord and bless me instead O God.
I apologise for my wrong use of words.

Lord please have mercy on me in Jesus Holy name
Amen

Whoso findeth a wife findeth a good thing, And obtaineth favor of Jehovah.
Proverbs 18:22

ULCER? FOOD!
*******
Prayer and bible study is like food.
You have too eat to be sustained in this life or face having a life threatening ulcer.

When you don't pray or do bible study, your spirit begins to lack it's life source and a sick spirit is a home for the devil and his activities.

Pray without season.
Pray daily
Pray without occasion
Pray without ceasing
Pray because you love God

Prayer:
Father I know you love me and you have missed hearing my voice, please help me to love you more, just as you love me in Jesus Holy name
Amen

Pray

"And in like manner the Spirit also helpeth our infirmity: for we know not how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered;"
Romans 8:26

REFUGE
*******
Most people move farther away from God when challenges come, instead of moving closer to him.

David was a man that ran to God always. Even when he offended God he ran back to him.
He said it was better to fall in the hands of a merciful God than in the hands of man.

God therefore referred to David in the bible as a man after His heart.

"I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in whom I trust."
Psalms 91:2

Prayer:
I yield my heart and my all to you O God.
Please forgive me in your mercy and hold me in your love in Jesus Holy name
Amen

Jehovah thy God is in the midst of thee, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love; he will joy over thee with singing.
Zephaniah 3:17

WEAK HEART
*****
Today while I said my morning prayers, I felt somehow within me that God wasn't listening.

But while I was yet praying, I realised that the devil sometimes temps us even while in the presence of God to stop us from trusting God.

Dear Friend, I want you to know that God is greater than your conscience, and before you have started to pray to God, he had heard you already and is preparing a blessing for you.

"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not vain in the Lord."
1 Corinthians 15:58

Don't stop the goodwork.

Prayer
Bless me O my Father and my God.
Have mercy on me Lord, Save me in Jesus Holy name
Amen

ITS NOT ME IT YOU
******
One good trick in relationships is not to believe that you are right, but that you are wrong.
This gives room for the best reconciliation.
Always put your weaknesses first before the weakness of your partner.

* Appreciating the little past supports we get from our partners can be as soothing as a glass of cold water on hot day.
* Never compare your partner to another, it hurts and causes trust and confidence to wane

"Love suffereth long, and is kind; love envieth not; love vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not its own, is not provoked, taketh not account of evil;"
1 Corinthians 13:4-5

*Last I say please never hold a grudge, and do not let let the sun rise and set on an offence.

God bless you as you allow "Love to lead you"
Amen

TOGETHER IN GOD,
TOGETHER IN LOVE
*******
God desires that we unite as one always
Together we will overcome all things that may come against us.

The greatest enemy of man is division.

"Now I beseech you, brethren, through the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfected together in the same mind and in the same judgment."
1 Corinthians 1:10

Prayer:
Father, please take away all things that may bring division in our lives, and bless us with your love and tolerance for each other.
Build you church O Lord in Jesus Holy name
Amen
